Owned by the vendor since 1977, and gradually restored. Started life as a GT car, professionally converted to soft top using all genuine Reliant parts. The repaint, and Restoration was recently completed by marque specialist Iain Daniels Motorsports, due to owners ill health.

Engine has lovely set of Aquaplane triple carbs fitted, custom stainless manifolds and exhaust system. Blydenstein cam! Late engine with stronger block.
Recently registered on age related plate, as original didn’t get registered with DVLA. Original chassis plate present, chassis 141. Only 77 Sabre 6 cars built. Only Two other works built convertible cars! Both known to registrar and in excellent condition.

Chassis is modified for competition use, axle has 4 arm location with transverse watts linkage rear end setup. With Adjustable dampers all round.
Interior is completely retrimmed in contrasting colour, to original pattern with original seats.
A new hood is currently being made, due in new year, which will be included with the car. It also has an original Reliant tonneau cover. The Reliant Sabre is very rare 1960s classic sports car. There is an extremely active owners club, with many events of all types. The Sabre is eligible for many kinds of events and you would be spoiled for choice. This car has had a fortune spent over many years. She Drives very nicely. There may be some final fettling to enjoy to get the car to a new owners requirement. The owner has a list of bits to do. As much as he can manage will be done, but all minor stuff.
Ideal car for classic rallies, or classic hills or even racing. Much power can be extracted from the trusty Ford straight 6.
Ready for 2024. It just took me 47 years to get it done!
